| The '''Okaati''' are a sentient, bi-pedaled race of creatures who, during the [[sixth-millennium]], depart their native homeworld following an ecological holocaust of their own making. They are encountered by [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|the Fleet]] in the [[Seventh-millennium|seventh-millenium]] after entering the [[Empyrean Expanse]], appearing to share a similar predicament for they have an always on-the-run [[Okaati fleet|fugitive fleet of their own]]. | | The '''Kiernu fighter'''<ref>{{Bsgwiki term}}</ref> is a starfighter employed by the [[Kiernu]], a species encountered by [[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|The Fleet]] during their initial entrance into the [[Empyrean Expanse]] ({{Comics|classic|0}}). |

| == Origins and Exodus ==
| | Appearing to have similar silhouettes to the [[Cylons (TOS-DE alternate)|Cylon]] [[Raider (TOS-DE alternate)|Raider]], this fighter possesses a minimum of forward-mounted energy weapons and two rear-mounted engines. Beyond these similarities, the Kiernu fighter lacks the speed of the [[Colonial]] [[Viper (TOS-DE alternate)|Viper]], as exemplified during Blue Squadron's ability to run interference for the Fleet as they pass through a narrow corridor of Kiernu space for the duration of one [[centar]] ({{Comics|classic|0}}). |
| Initially pacifistic and humble, the Okaati became parasitic in their wayward exile due to resource scarcity and other socio-political factors, with adeptness at stripping resources from the worlds within the [[Empyrean Expanse]]. Their aggressive ways affect the numerous species who formally attempt to aid them peacably, resulting in the creation of [[the Comitat]], an assemblage of victimized species seeking both justice and containment of the Okaati ({{Comics|classic|4}}).
| | [[File:BSG - Counterstrike - Kiernu Fighters Attack Vipers 2.png|thumb|The twin, rear-mounted engines of the Kiernu's fighters are insufficient to keep pace with [[Colonial]] [[Viper (TOS-DE alternate)|Vipers]] ({{comics|classic|0}}).]] |
| | The armament of this craft is inferior to the Viper, according to the [[Kiernu Chancellor]]'s remarks to [[Lucifer (TOS-DE alternate)|Lucifer]] before their death ({{Comics|classic|1}}). |
|
| |
|
| In the intervening millennia, the Okaati became a scourge that outpace and outwit the Comitat, striving to find sources outside of the Expanse. This search, lead by their leader [[Parrin]] sometime in or about [[7349 (alternate)|7349]], results in contact with the [[Cylon Empire (TOS-DE alternate)|Cylon Empire]]'s emissaries [[Baltar (TOS-DE alternate)|Baltar]] and [[Lucifer (TOS-DE alternate)|Lucifer]]. Upon their return into the Expanse, Parrin and her Cylon escort are detected by [[Blue Squadron (TOS-DE alternate)|Blue Squadron]] following its fracas with the [[Kiernu]]. Believing the Raider escort to be attackers to the then-unidentified vessel, Captain [[Apollo (TOS-DE alternate)|Apollo]] and fellow Warriors dispatch the escort, handle an enemy with presumed similarities to the Cylons, and are introduced to another [[Okaati fleet|fugitive fleet]] ({{Comics|classic|0}} & {{Comics|classic|3|short=Y}}).

| == Turning Point with Humanity ==
| |
| After dispatching the [[Cylons (TOS-DE alternate)|Cylon]] [[Raider (TOS-DE alternate)|Raiders]] and [[the Comitat]]'s [[Bladeship|bladeships]], Captain Apollo's squadron is led to the [[Okaati fleet]] and lead to believe that the Okaati share the same perilous journey through the cosmos as a "[[The Fleet (TOS-DE alternate)|fugitive fleet]]." Buoyed by the possibilities of an alliance with fellow victims of oppression, Apollo leads the Okaati to the human's Fleet ({{Comics|classic|0}}).

| | |
| Believing that Parrin's plan to use the Fleet in order to barter for [[Tylium (TOS-DE alternate)|tylium]] from the Cylons would work, the Okaati engineers engage in deception to hijack the Fleet's various ships (sans ''Galactica'') by conjoining each Fleet vessel with a Okaati [[Harvester]], allowing the Harvester to disable and stage its Colonial partner on [[Gehenna Prime]] to this end ({{Comics|classic|3}}—{{Comics|classic|5|short=y}}).{{Comics Subjects|classic}}
